April 2 1944

Dearest Hal – You can imagine about how sick I have been when I haven’t written you for all this time – Today I feel a little better – anyway I’m not heaving over a basin vomiting – I’ve hoped so much that you could come home soon or I fear I will not be here when you come.

If you knew how miserable I am you would not want me to stay – I have not been able to eat anything hardly so I have gotten very weak – Eliz is busy this week helping William put over the State Dental Convention – William is the president of the Rich Dental Association.

A letter from Mrs. B. said that Will had gone to Camp Meade the 15^th of March.

I hear that Bill T. is awaiting his call from the Navy anytime – Harry is waiting to see what they will do about taking him. – Sara said he though he would know by the 7^th – I feel sorry for Sara – She is about broken down working and she wont have enough to get along on without working if Harry is taken – She is washing and boarding Harry N. so is not making anything hardly – I want to thank you for sending here the 200. I do appreciate that so much – I’ll try and write you soon again. It snowed a little here today – has rained about every other day.

Dearest love Mother
